Redneck is historically a derogatory slang term to refer to poor white Southern farmers in the United States. It is similar in meaning to "cracker" (especially in Georgia and Florida), "hillbilly" (especially in Appalachia) and "white trash" (especially among blacks).

Look up redneck in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

The most common American usage, referring to the poor rural white Southerner, is probably derived from individuals having a red neck caused by working outdoors in the hot sun. A citation from 1893 provides a definition as "poorer inhabitants of the rural districts...men who work in the field, as a matter of course, generally have their skin burned red by the sun, and especially is this true of the back of their necks". In recent decades the term expanded its meaning to mean bigoted, loutish and opposed to modern ways, and has often been used to attack Southern conservatives and segregationists. At the same time, many members of the U.S. Southern community have set out to reclaim the word, using it as a self-identifier, and the term has also been claimed by individuals outside of the United States.

Why is it acceptable to use terms like redneck and white trash but not the "n word"?
Q. i dont understand why. I thought they were equally offensive. You can ask a question on this site using redneck, white trash and hillbilly without anyone complaining at all,,, but if you say nlgger, your account is immediately suspended and you could have death threats!

If you think you are a redneck then please answer this question?
Q. I am doing a paper on rednecks. I don't feel like interviewing someone at my school because they will make a joke of it. What exactly is a redneck not? Give details on what it is like to be a redneck. Do you think it is a way of life? Explain. What do you think is the cause of people from the north or such thinking rednecks are all mindless, filthy and incest when they're really not? Best answer gets 10 points.

A. a redneck is just a person who works in the oil field..some people think its just a random cowboy but thats not even half true..theres all kinds of people that work in the oil field..umm id say now that its a good job..and it pays good money. but now that obama is the president he's trying to shut the oil field business down so ive heard..which is good because of the gas prices going down..but then can be bad because alot of people are going to be losing their job. im really not sure why people think that about rednecks..but i guess everyone has their own view point on how they look at people or life..its just rude.but thats my opinion
